Help Colton patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Newport?
🇬🇧 Wales, United Kingdom325 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Newport. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,300, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Quezon City.
Praying for you, Colton. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Newport
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Hang in there, Colton. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
